Abstract
The frequency of upward lymphatic spread in rectal and rectosigmoidal cancer necessitates the widest possible removal of the upward lymphatic field. Combined excision is the most radical operation; the site and extent of the lesion when first seen indicate this procedure in about 75 per cent of cases. A study of 573 operations revealed that results of anterior resection in selected patients compared favorably with those of combined excision.
